Hey there!

2x + 1 < 5

SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES

2x + 1 - 1 < 5 - 1

SIMPLIFY IT!
2x < 5 - 1

2x < 4

DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 < 4/2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x < 4/2

x < 2

Therefore, your answer is: x < 2

(The graph is down below)

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer: x < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 1 on both sides

2x < 4

Then divide both sides by 2

x < 2
